Birthing a life.

"Please pick up, please pick up," I chanted.

"Dwayne!" I exclaimed, relief washing over me when he answered.

"Arielle, what's up?"

"I... I'm in pain, I don't know, but it hurts so much. My abdomen, waist-"

"What? Where are you?" He asked, his voice urgent.

"Damnit! I'm about to board my flight."

"Sorry, I forgot..." I paused, the pain overwhelming me.
